Another framed free motion quilted feather, or three actually!!! Framing the little quilt allows it to be used by more people. Not everyone has room on their wall for a quilt, but make it little and put it in a frame, and now it is more user friendly!!! This can be on the wall or sit on a shelf!!! PERFECT!!!
This little quilt will be sold at my church during their bazaar next month :^)
The fabric was a free give-away, so not sure the content. Feels like a fine silk, but could simply be a brushed satin. I really have no idea!!!

Thank You Doreen!! I sure hope they like it, I haven't heard a word from the bazaar committee!! I have another small quilt to finish up for them so hopefully both will bring in some money!

ReplyDeleteThank You Marjorie!! It was fun to make. Sometimes I have more fun when I am working on a donation project, I just hope it will bring in some cash for the church!!
Deletesuch beautiful quilting and I am sure there will be plenty of people wanting to buy your feathers
ReplyDeleteThank You Margaret!! I sure hope there is at least one person willing to pay money for it :^). I have another to quilt, just like this one that I may give to one of my co-workers. Although I think I will put it on her desk when she isn't there because it will make her cry. She is a sweety!!!
